He met Alex Turner and Matt Helders first late in 2003 when they were recording at the studio with Reverend and The Makers’ frontman John McClure’s then band Judan Suki.

“Alex popped his head through the door and said ‘I’ve got another band if you’d like to see us’, so I did,” he said.

“I saw them at The Boardwalk and there was something obviously great about them. What struck me was how they played a mixture of their own songs and covers, and you couldn’t tell the difference in quality between them.
